It's not Russia, it's Putin

That Covid came out of a U.S.-run or maybe -financed research lab is a possibility. It’s becoming clear that Covid-19 didn’t occur naturally.
BTW, the Lancet recently issued a report assessing the possible causes of the disease and noted the likelihood of there being an unnatural component in its genome. Unnatural obviously means something the result of human intervention…in a well-equipped lab. Not something that would come out of a Chinese wet market or by some nut job in his basement lab.
Sachs, who headed Lancet’s study explains their findings:
This is interesting:
The Lancet isn’t a publication known for its hysterics. lf you pay attention do Sachs’ video, I don’t think you’ll find any hint of him trying to engineer a conspiratorial conclusion. I’d say one of the very few conclusions is that Covid-19 is highly unlikely to have developed genetic modification that made it so contagious out in nature. It’s the sort of modification (gain of function) a scientist can do in a lab.
Here, a very respectable interpreter of scientific and medical documents, Dr. John Campbell, discusses the Lancet report and there are many things to be concerned about, one of which is the possibility that the U.S. was somehow involved in making Covid a highly contagious disease:
My friend in the city of Zaporizhzhia (under the ‘Deadly missile attack’ heading) took these photos. The first is from his house on the opposite side of the bombed building. The second taken 3 hours later when it got daylight. I have other photos that I won’t post. The Ukrainian media posted that 3 civilians died but that is so a not to sow any more panic. I have a recording of the air raid sirens and 3 blasts on WhatsApp from earlier that night. If anyone can suggest a way of posting an mpeg here I will upload it. Bombings in the city now for about 15 nights in a row.
So, we have this generation of old farts (who grew up when the news media had real sources and a reputation to defend) and they so are conditioned to basically believe anything they consume. The age of misinformation is upon us, and they are drinking from a firehose.
We need to throw away labels. Labels like “crackpot,” “conspiracy theorist,” “liar,” and so on at least long enough to consider if they might be onto something. Such labels short-circuit our thinking process and can be used as cover by some to do nefarious things.
Example: the theory that perhaps the United States was the bad actor in the case of the Nord Stream pipelines eco-terror events. We are all to ready to assume those bad guys, the Russians did it and invent convoluted reasons as evidence Russia did it involving Putin’s multidimensional chess. Reasons with no evidence. The notion that the United States did it has some logic behind it. The logic doesn’t need to be convoluted. It’s plain as day. No, it’s not proof, but anyone who can’t admit it’s a possibility based on what we know (military operations in the area, the U.S. benefitting in several ways) is someone blinded by their attitudes toward the players in the situation.
As I said, we need to stop hiding behind labels long enough to fairly consider the available evidence.
“Conspiracy theorist.” It has two meanings, basically. 1) Someone who prefers to believe conspiracy theories over more reasonable explanations. This is virtually a mental disease for some people. The flat or hollow Earth theories, for example, or that the Jews or Jesuits are the puppetmasters of history. 2) Someone who thinks they have evidence for a possible conspiracy. A theory in much the same sense of theory as how we use it discussing evolution. In other words, an explanation that comports with the evidence and hopefully implies ways to confirm or disconfirm it, at least in theory.
Finally, I hear people assuming that “conspiracy” is always a bad thing. Not so. For example, if you’re living under a despot, to overthrow him and free the country’s people will almost always require forming a conspiracy.
